A Snowed In Christmas





































We had a very different Christmas this year...again. Instead of me nearly burning down Kelly and Philip's house while I was on bed rest, Kevin and I were like everyone else: snowed in! Kevin's family were supposed to come over to our house on Wednesday night for Christmas dinner, and Thursday we were going to head to my mom's. But NOOOOO....we had to get hit with a super snow storm.

Luckily, my aunts Marilyn and Paula brought their families (and Christmas dinner) to our place on Christmas. It was a lot of fun, and so nice to have them here. It was a bit shaky on them getting here, but they made it!

While it totally stunk to not be at my mom's for Christmas, it was nice to have the kids at home with just Kevin and I. Renee hooked up her laptop with a webcam in mom's living room, and I was able to see everything going on,including Isabel, Alaina, and Alice opening their gifts. It was so cool. While I wasn't seriously there, it kinda felt like I was! I love technology. Philip opened Kevin's and my gifts, too. I can't wait to use my new label maker!! Kevin got "The Hangover," and I am sure we will be enjoying that flick over and over again. :)

We didn't get too carried away with gifts for the kids this year. First, they aren't going to remember. Second, they don't need anything! We have way too many toys as it is. Oh, and they have a birthday next month, too. Yikes...one year old.........

I haven't been out of my house at all since I got home from work on Tuesday. I can't wait to go to work.

I hope you enjoy our pictures from Christmas!

Seth got pooped on...TWICE!

Today I went home over my lunch hour, and as I walked in I heard "OH, NO!" Lily had apparently pooped so much that it went up her back. But she didn't mind, so she kept playing and Seth's foot and leg ended up covered in poop. Sara took Lily into the tub to get cleaned, Renee took Seth to get cleaned, Ricky took a very sad and needy Logan, and Carter went into the pack and play while I cleaned a very poopy spot on the carpet. Then all was fine and dandy. We were eating lunch after a few minutes when Renee said, "OH, NO! Not again!" This time, Carter had poop up his back. Sara took him into the tub for cleaning, Ricky had Seth, Renee had Lily and Logan. I was, once again, cleaning more poop on the carpet. Then Ricky pointed out that Seth, once again, got pooped on. It was all over his leg. So I took his pants, and as I did I saw poop on the baby gate, and more poop on the carpet. Awesome. Ricky is now shampooing the carpet in the living room while the kids are all clean. Logan is the only baby who hasn't pooped on Seth today...we are still waiting on that one. I, on the other hand, went back to the office!

Tuesday Night Fun











Tonight the kids were in really great moods. They were so playful!! We were having so much fun playing. Well, actually I was a jungle gym. I tried reading them books, but didn't get too far. You can tell it was fun!

one small step for Carter

One giant leap for the Fab Four!

You guessed it! Carter took his first steps last night. Twice, he took three steps. I was so glad I was there to see it.

They are moving right along...literally!
